Mrs. Xu Baodi, 65, was a retiree of Tieshu Group, Suizhou City, Hubei Province. She started Falun Gong practice in January 1996. After she practiced Falun Gong, she recovered from all her diseases and she felt very good. After the persecution of Falun Dafa began on July 20, 1999, because the normal cultivation environment for Falun Dafa practitioners to practice and study the Fa together was disrupted, her diseases returned repeatedly. In 2001, with the help of other practitioners, she resumed practicing Falun Dafa, and soon after that recovered rapidly from her diseases again. On March 8, 2002, while Mrs. Xu was studying the Fa and practicing exercises in a practitioner's home, people reported them to the police. Along with other policemen, the Head of Xicheng Police Station in Suizhou City with last name of Zhang took her to the Suizhou Second Detention Center. She was detained there for one week. Because her family members were scared, they tried to keep her from practicing Falun Gong. She passed away on December, 28, 2002.
